The house could stand a little TLC, but no major issues. Maybe a new living room sofa and more seat for like a movie night!

Everything was in working order and in good repair. Sure it's next to a rather quaint older motel but that's of little concern to me and the motel frankly adds a bit of the "old nags head" charm. It's a beachfront property, reasonably priced with plenty of room for our trip of four adults and three children <11yrs. Exceeded or met all of our expectations.

This house is a reasonable choice for anyone needing a very large place (8 BRs! and 7 and 1/2 baths!) or a place to stay with your dogs. It's right on the beach with a good view and also close to stores/restaurants. There are some things that could be done to this hose to make it a nicer place to stay. 1. More than a few light bulbs are burned out or inoperative or not properly working.. 2. The carpet should be cleaned. 3. Several of the window blinds are broken and/or inoperative. 4. A list of the TV channels would have been nice. 5. The shower ceiling is full of mildew. 6. A map of the area with some recommended restaurants would have been a nice touch. In short, this is a nice house, but it's in need of some TLC.

The ocean view, location (except for the dumpy motel next door), and being able to bring my dog make up for a lot and I really liked the home layout. But beware, this house needs maintenence and there is too much broken stuff to name it all. My back is still sore for the crummy mattress, I hardly slept at all.

Overall, we had a great time. A great property, excellent location, and home size. Would definitely rent this property again! Minor recommendations: hot tub needs a new cover, wooden decks and fence need to be painted, and fence door leading to the ocean needs to be fixed.

The house was lovely itself but we had 2 major issues. When we arrived there was a guy there just starting to treat the pool for the season. It was filled with sand, scummy, and black mold all around the lip of the pool. We booked the house purposely for the pool so we could enjoy Memorial Day weekend on the ocean with a pool, but wasn't able to use it. Also, the top floor air conditioning wasn't working. The agency sent a guy right away to look at it, but he said it would need to be replaced. So we spent a hot couple of days on the top floor. The first and 2nd floor air worked fine, but the bedroom I stayed in (on the top floor) as well as the main living area, was quite hot during the stay. We had to open windows and use fans for airflow. I asked the agency for a partial discount due to these issues, but they still have not gotten back to me about it (3 weeks later). Once those 2 problems are fixed, I'd say the house is very nice. I liked the location, it was clean and spacious. It just seemed the house wasn't quite ready for guests. We also had to go buy a battery for the smoke detector during our stay as it started chirping at us. And we noted several light bulbs were burnt out. I think we were the first renters for the season so things weren't quite ready yet.
